This book is one of a rare breed, as it combines a fantastic plot with a focus on a literary hero that has been much admired over the years. It also gives light to the desire that so many young people have to escape the lives they are living for adventure and passion. It provides an opportunity for those of us now with this passion to discover what is unknown to us to connect with someone with the same desire fifty years ago. Extremely entertaining and intelligent, Barbara Shoup’s Looking For Jack Kerouac, has earned a spot on my bookshelf and in my heart.
